You can expect in the first session to simply get to know each other a little bit and figure out if we are a good fit. I think it is important you feel comfortable with your therapist so you get to make the call whether you want to continue to work with me. We will discuss what brought you to therapy, your expectations, and your goals. In ongoing sessions we will identify interventions that best fit you and your needs. I enjoy tailoring interventions for each client based upon your strengths, likes, and needs. Therapy can be more than just talking, I encourage my clients to utilize the tools they already have in their life that they enjoy that help build those positive and healthy habits such as art, writing, or exercise.

I utilize various treatment modalities which are evidenced based and strength based including Client Centered Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Practices, and Motivational Interviewing. I like to utilize journals and worksheets that are tailored to my client's needs when appropriate.
